They sentenced me to twenty years of boredomFor trying to change the system from withinI'm coming now I'm coming to reward themFirst we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavensGuided by this birthmark on my skinI'm guided by the beauty of our weaponsFirst we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, babyI love your body and your spirit and your clothesBut you see that line they're moving through the stationI told you, I told you, I told you I was one of those

You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might winYou know the way to stop me but you don't have the disciplineHow many nights I prayed for this to let my work beginFirst we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I don't like your fashion business, misterI don't like these drugs that keep you thinI don't like what happened to your sisterFirst we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, babyI love your body and your spirit and your clothesBut you see that line they're moving through the stationI told you, I told you, I told you I was one of those

Did I thank you for those items that you sent meThe monkey and the plywood violinI practiced every night now I'm readyFirst we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Now remember me, I used to live for musicRemember me, I brought your groceries inIt's Father's Day and everybody's woundedFirst we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

Marvin, he was a friend of mineAnd he could sing a songHis heart in every lineMarvin sang of the joy and painHe opened up our mindsAnd I still can hear him sayAw talk to me so you can seeWhat's going onSay you will sing your songsForevermore (evermore)

Gonna be some sweet soundsComing down on the nightshiftI bet you're singing proudOh I bet you'll pull a crowdGonna be a long nightIt's gonna be all rightOn the nightshiftOh you found another homeI know you're not aloneOn the nightshift

Jackie (Jackie), hey what'you doing nowIt seems like yesterdayWhen we were working outJackie (Jackie, oh) you setThe world on fireYou came and gifted usYour love it lifted usHigher and higherKeep it up andWe'll be thereAt your sideOh say you will singYour songs forevermore (evermore)

Gonna be some sweet soundsComing down on the nightshiftI bet you're singing proudOh I bet you'll pull a crowdGonna be a long nightIt's gonna be all rightOn the nightshiftOh you found another homeI know you're not aloneOn the nightshift

Gonna miss your sweet voiceThat soulful voiceOn the nightshiftWe all remember youOoh the songs are coming throughAt the end of a long dayIt's gonna be okayOn the nightshiftYou found another homeI know you're not aloneOn the nightshift.

I was on my way back homeMy heart was like a stoneWith the stars up in the skyAs they watched us say goodbyeIt won't hide or disguiseMy love, you cryAs we say goodbyeThe time, was slowI didn't want to see you goOh no, oh no

The hour tell you no liesThe hour tell you no liesTell you no lies for the skyThe hour tell you no lies

There were times he raised his handAnd I could not understandBut you know my memoryWe never could agreeIt won't hide or disguiseTime, sweet timeKeeping me and mineYou, stay trueSpite of all of youOh woe, oh woe

The hour tell you no liesThe hour tell you no liesTell you no lies for the skyThe hour tell you no lies.
